When I walked in for breakfast and perused the menu at this 60-year-old eatery located right opposite Ernakulam’s historic Siva temple, I couldn't help but wonder if there was a connection to Udupi. A fact that was corroborated by the owner, Mrs. Meena Mohan, whose husband’s family migrated from South Canara nearly a century ago to perform religious duties in Kochi. And Gokul Ooottupra, too, seems to cater to its patrons in the same attitude of service and tradition, I discovered over my leisurely meal here. From staple classics like the vada, dosae, kadla puttu curry, yelle adda to a few inspired creations like the peri peri idli, the vegetarian fare here is the sort that draws in customers by the hundreds each day. If you find yourself in Kochi and are craving a vegetarian meal, look no further. Hope you enjoy this watch. Take care, stay safe and strong. Happy eating!

[@rangarajannarasimhan341]

unlike other videos of hotel coverage, the anchor is able to discuss in detail about ingredients identify uniqueness etc., which is good .

[@DishaMalik751]

Thank u for promoting Indian food & culture in the world ❤

[@intihajahmadm5126]

I literally watched in Loop for at least 10 Times when Kripal said "Uloond Vada"😊. Love you sir, may God bless bless you with good health.

[@vasanthkumarjayaraman6753]

Happy to reminisce my 2 years of Ernakulam posting & frequenting this restaurant. Thanks Kripal for bringing this to, now retired person here in Chennai ❤

[@praseedpg]

abhinandhanam....great hotel....very rare to find such traditional temple hotel in keralam

[@indiankitty]

@13:31 Boss gets up respectfully when she comes to his table to converse. Proud of our culture.

[@akshaydaware7384]

Good to see vegetarian vlog.

[@IndianbyNationality-hx2ug]

I'm watching your videos because of your explanation of food.

[@VamsiKrishna-ls5fk]

that slow mo back shot is awesome. Feels like top brass of a corporate going into the kitchen.

[@villuran1977]

In most of the hotels in Ernakulam, the dosas are so thin and small (but, unjustifiably expensive) that, if you are hungry, you need to take at least 4.

[@user-ut3ng7km5g]

Brother its thin but at the same time large in size. The amount of batter is same when compared to other state dosas.

[@prem9501]

I am from Ernakulam and not a stranger to Karnataka.. With due respect, I would like to disagree.

[@worldofcats5309]

Those thin dosas in Ernakulam are delicious. The one which you get in Karnataka are thick and tasteless.

[@vinayanavangot3842]

But that's more delicious according to me

[@user-dr7qc2mf9t]

You should be thankful if you have to eat more than 1 dosa anywhere. That means they don't add cooking soda which bloats you. If you prepare dosa at home you end up having 3-4 as no soda is used for cooking

[@PradeepRaajkumar1981]

Ultimate anna.. Missed all these KOCHI food...

[@shyfan68]

Gokul Ootupura is excellent esp the one in Panampally Nagar & this one near the temple .My fav is Podi Dosa

[@vinayranjan5774]

Thats true. You will get authentic Kerala food here. Try lunch once. They serve one of the best meals, with payasam ( gheer)

[@FoodLoversTV]

I hope to.

[@sanoopkp4102]

Kheer

King Kripal in Kerala❤❤ always 1st bite of dosa is with PALYA by Kripal ❤❤

Welcome to Kerala Gods own Country. Watching from California. You are very kind gentleman.

[@longerodds5077]

God's own country?😂😂. If it is God's country, why are you in California??😂. You should be close to God, shouldn't you??😊

[@karpediem3155]

God's own country- all faithfuls outside,,land of slogans

[@dsp0610]

Of course, this is God's Own Country, but the people who are in power are really DEVILS👺👹👿, who spoil the state. They are third class GOONS, culture less.

[@timeisup6844]

longerodds5077 similarly there are many bhakths who bark about ache din in social media but live outside india😂😂

[@dragonshivu]

Looking forward to watch this Kerala based video!

[@FoodLoversTV]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@tessyjoseph7771]

Gokul ottupura ❤❤. Used to frequent while I was at kochi . Loved the dosas there and the ambience of thier branch at panambilly nagar . You should also try the brindavan,palarivattom .

[@Adipolifoodie]

My favourite veg resturant at Ernakulam with variety dosa❤.the one near siva temple is my favt outlet

[@dr.b.pradeep6027]

Good vegetarian hotel in Kochi! Should visit !

[@anandapn1]

Love Gokul Oottupura...has been a go to place for us for ages!!

[@chaatman5754]

Most beautiful and delicate dosa. The Kula and Puttu look divine. This is my kind of breakfast.

[@rajeshramachandran1704]

Good afternoon dear Kripal - I simply love your attire & Hat 🎩 ( Hat that matches with every outfit ) . Oh it’s Gokul Ootapura . Have been to this place with my family. Beautiful ambience & good quality 👍👍 Great way to start the breakfast with a hot glass of Coffee . Wow they have 5 branches . My favourite part of the vlog - Kitchen tour 👌 Loves the preparation of the Podi Masala Dosa 😋 One of my favourites is the Mini Idli soaked in sambhar and a dash of coconut chutney 👍 Ha ha ha time for the Ulundu Vada and glad that you enjoyed the UV as compared to the Idli . Wow Peri Peri Idli is something unique. Nai Masala Dosa looks yummy 🤤 Peri Peri Masala small idli . My daughter would enjoy it . Possibly this is more for the youngsters . Now for the traditional Puttu with Kadala curry ( my dad’s favourite ) . That looks to be an authentic KC with Puttu . Aah now it’s the proper way to eat the P with KC and smashed with a Papdam . The ellai ada is a perfect dessert post a savoury breakfast . Mrs Mohan is a sweet lady with lots of stories. Your interaction with Mrs Mohan was quite inspiring . The fact that they offer the staff with the same restaurant food ( no separate meals for them ) . That’s the hallmark of a Restaurant which is rich in its values & culture. Thoroughly enjoyed the vlog 👍👍👍 You take care and loads of love & respect 🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯

[@femil6171]

Good one! Liked that you are giving honest feedback rather than saying everything is super awesome 👍

[@ajithgopinath7565]

Kripal ji oldest hotel in Ernakulam you should try Bharat Cafe in Broadway near marine drive and you should try the cutlets simply marvelous.

[@GRVish]

This was known as Modern Hotel in the 1970s & 1980s. It has lodging too then.

[@worldofcats5309]

Good one, Manna - glad to see that you finally got to taste the real dosa - the Kerala dosa, which is absolutely delicious. Until the next time, take care, stay safe, stay strong …and happy eating Dosha 😂

[@sidharthmenon9911]

Happy to see you in Ernakulam sir

[@RB-om8sk]

Banglore ppl don't appreciate Tamil or other States dosa idly but still happy to see u give 8.5 to dosa 😁 but u know the Tamil style dosa n idly are way more popular in other parts of India n beyond India .....infact here in North many ppl hate Banglore dose as it's thick although i love Banglore dose 👌

[@srikantajagadeesh]

It’s because we Bangaloreans don’t want our dosas to be like like a soft as soon as it’s on the plate . Most Tamil Nadu dosas are crispy on tawa but becomes soft. But most dosas in Karnataka hold that crispiness because it’s thick & mouthful . Also for making the flat thin dosa are easier to make than thick consistency batter. So ppl outside practising in other parts of India opt for it. By the way Khara Pongal in most TN is fantastic compared to Karnataka. That’s the culinary special that embraces diversity’s in India

[@RB-om8sk]

@@srikantajagadeesh yes very well explained 👍

[@rajsub3884]

​@@srikantajagadeesheach has its own style wah to own

[@srikaanthsridhar1525]

Superb share

[@lakshmiashok7191]

Very nice to see you reviewing different dishes in such detail. But if you are only tasting a little bit of the dishes, then you should ask for a miniature version of each so that the food does not get wasted.

[@vidyutmulki2807]

Yummy, delicious and mouthwatering episode

[@villuran1977]

Kripal, while in Ernakulam, don't miss Bharat Tourist Home (BTH), Woodlands hotel and Hotel Dwaraka. Also, Bimbis.

[@GRVish]

I am told Dwaraka closed some years ago.

[@sujatanarayanan5779]

Ya they are authentic typical Kerala food ..and very delicious ❤

[@shreyas4980]

Kripal surely didnt like the idli and the wada... Surprising for a south veg restaurant.

[@abhishekchandrappa5384]

Such a great thing to not put sugar in the batter. The crispyness and reddish colour of dose in Karnataka and elsewhere might look good but its not good for breakfast. Well done to these owners for keeping it natural and real.

[@POIUTT]

Very happy to see you Meena aunty with food legend Kripal Sir❤❤❤❤❤

[@ps6572]

Loving the size of the dosai..added to my list...

[@ramanathan0310]

Thanks Kripal, I went here, food was delicious , we went for lunch, unfortunately meals were over, we had to eat dosa and curd rice, which was delicious. Its testimony of their food taste that lunch was over by 2.00 pm

[@shri6805]

Hence your theory of South canara connection proved 😅

[@deepaks3481]

Kripal sir, I am practicing as an advocate in district court, Ernakulam which is near to Shiva temple that u stood in the intro. Would have loved to meet u. Guess, i missed by a day.

Your shirt is very nice. Love the prints...

[@bestyvideos8536]

U r simpli awesome sir, I salute u.....

[@DeepaGuru]

Your expression after taking every bite says it all!

[@taramenon2855]

The real kerala dosa( as called), is not crisp, but soft and pale with slight brownish flecks. This is the home made and small eatery ,ones that can be had late evening, when hunger pangs strike or just because you want one. The coconut chutney is ground only with coconut and green chillies or with a little piece of onion or shallots and red chillies . Tempered with curry leaves and mustard seeds.This is how we ( I, remember enjoying the subtle flavors, of dosa, during our childhood and as young adults). As years, roll by, textures and flavors are adapted to change and evolve for the younger generation . But, his presentation, and the food served are class.

[@beautifulmind1336]

Bro try puttu kadala.❤

[@harimohan50]

We stay in Cochin Gokul ootupura has been maintaining its standards Please visit Cochin again A Foodie

[@sagayagambrun5149]

Very nutritious wholesome food!Bless!

[@elsiesubhasmathew4178]

Kadala is not Bengal gram. It is black chickpeas. Lots of respect to the pioneer 's attitude to see all humans equal and not showing disparity to his staff. It is not right to encourage the industry/individuals to treat people differently because of power, positions, money caste or teligion. Noone decides where they should be born.

[@susheelkumarrockingsusheel4611]

Try to eat idly in shree idli corner in veerapillai street in Bengaluru The taste is good and it is one of the oldest eatery and I had tasted the food there once it's soo good

[@reshmamohiyiddin]

Hands down my favourite place 😍

[@nagarajdn7385]

Again in Udupi connection, your parents place.

[@subramaniantr2091]

Pai dosa is very special do visit. There's also a Vinayaka caterers who sell payasam. You should try their palada payasam.

[@sundermenon7830]

You should visit Rehmania...for non veg food when you are in Kochi specially...

[@tshjsh4134]

Sambar recepi video upload pls sir

[@Karinkaadan]

Sir, come to Trivandrum the CAPITAL of Kerala. You will find lots of veg options and that too at reasonable rate and good taste 😊.

[@VamsiKrishna-ls5fk]

Been there to that place, Kripal. Amazing place.

[@vasudevan2022]

1:53 we call it as 'Boli'. The very famous item in our sadhya. Welcome to Kerala 👍

[@sureshcv4630]

Keep the quality ❤

[@mpsuresh7786]

This is a costly and not a good hotel compared to other hotels in other locations. This became more mentioned because there is no nearby eatery to Siva Temple on this side of the hotel.

Please add the individual prices too

[@AjithKumar-st7jn]

The remark on your preference for the coffee to be a bit stronger, it seems In Kerala people prefer lighter coffee even though it is a filter coffee. On the flip side Kerala people find Karnataka coffee too strong. A light coffee by Karnataka standards it a strong coffee for most Keralites

[@ranjini5025]

In kollam you can go to Guru Prasad hotel of Karnataka

Please describe the taste of sambhar in detail, sweet , sour , hot as every one doesn't like a sweetish sambhar .

[@bishoptoothpaste1858]

Both Karnataka dose and Kerala/Tamilnadu dosa are great .. both are brilliant. But Kannada dose stands out because of what it is .. and other 3 are I feel it's of the same kind. But I think for taste dose is dasa . Haha

[@rajsub3884]

I don't agree there are good eateries in other place where they provide very good dosa .it also depends on the eateries u go .
